Egon Lutomsky in Turku harbour in the summer of 1944. In Turku he made acquaintance with a nice Karelian girl, Lahja, with whom he also corresponded. But the contact was broken after the disaster.

Egon Lutomsky had kicked off his boots when he left Z 35. Without boots he still was during the transportation from Ingå to Helsinki and from there with a ship to Tallinn. Together with other survivors he walked through Tallinn to a large cellar below a barracks. There they were interrogated many days by Russian officers who desperately wanted data on German harbours. Later Egon Lutomsky was sent to a prison camp in Kohtla-Järve. In June of 1949 he was repatriated.

- Here I was lucky again, many of my imprisoned mates were sent to camps in Siberia.
